<B>001:001 </B> Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, <B>001:002

</B> To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. <B>001:003 </B> We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, <B>001:004 </B> Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, <B>001:005 </B> For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; <B>001:006 </B> Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: <B>001:007 </B> As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; <B>001:008 </B> Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. <B>001:009 </B> For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; <B>001:010 </B> That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; <B>001:011 </B> Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; <B>001:012 </B> Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: <B>001:013 </B> Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: <B>001:014 </B> In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: <B>001:015 </B> Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: <B>001:016 </B> For that are in thrones, or things were by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and earth, visible and invisible, whether they be dominions, or principalities, or powers: all created by him, and for him:

<B>001:017 </B> And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. <B>001:018 </B> And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

yet am I with you in the spirit. and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel. and of the Father. that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: <B>001:029 </B> Whereunto I also labour. yet now hath he reconciled <B>001:022 </B> In the body of his flesh through death. which is the church: <B>001:025 </B> Whereof I am made a minister. being knit together in love. <B>002:006 </B> As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord. <B>002:005 </B> For though I be absent in the flesh. but now is made manifest to his saints: <B>001:027 </B> To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles. and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding. lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. joying and beholding your order. according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you. warning every man. and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh. <B>002:002 </B> That their hearts might be comforted. <B>001:026 </B> Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations.<B>001:019 </B> For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell. or things in heaven. and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake. and teaching every man in all wisdom. <B>002:004 </B> And this I say. and for them at Laodicea. having made peace through the blood of his cross. to fulfil the word of God. which worketh in me mightily. to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: <B>001:023 </B> If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled. by him. striving according to his working. <B>001:021 </B> And you. <B>001:024 </B> Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you. and of Christ. so walk ye in him:
. by him to reconcile all things unto himself. which is Christ in you. whether they be things in earth. the hope of glory: <B>001:028 </B> Whom we preach. <B>002:003 </B> In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works. and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven. to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God. I say. <B>001:020 </B> And. and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. <B>002:001 </B> For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you. whereof I Paul am made a minister. which ye have heard.
